Title: restored REDLINE RL20 PROSTYLER
Post by: bubinja on August 26, 2006, 08:25 PM: Hi all,
My 1st post on the site. I cannot seem to upload photos on this but have linked where there are photos.

Just finished restoring a 1985 Redline RL20 prostyler. It was a labour of love!

Post by: bodamus on August 27, 2006, 11:30 AM: Looking good mate I would drop the seatpost down a bit and change the seat to something like an Elina Flyte Tech unless you are going to ride it.

Still a nice build though :daumenhoch:

Post by: bubinja on August 27, 2006, 01:13 PM: You are right about the seat. It was an elina flite tech I took off it. But it is SOOO uncomfortable I opted for the SE racing padded job. I did have the high seatpost back in the day to enable the seat and the bar to be grabbed with one had for certain ground freestyle tricks.

Thanks for your comments guys.
